Set in the Valencian orchard, it tells the story of Batiste Borrull, a peasant who rents a barraca and some cursed lands that no one wants to cultivate. Batiste's determination to support his family clashes with the hostility of the village and reveals the harshness of rural life, traditions, and the conflict between landowners and day laborers.
The novel was originally published in 1898.

Valencian novelist and politician, author of La Barraca, Reeds and Mud and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a major international bestseller of his day.
